Grays Harbor PUD no longer accepting payments at certain businesses

The Grays Harbor PUD will no longer be accepting payments from customers through businesses in some areas of the county, and will now only be accepting payments through Anchor Bank.

The PUD says that current pay stations located at Hoquiam Ace Hardware, D & K Grocery in Pacific Beach, Grayland Hardware, Image Flowers in Elma, Pick Rite Thriftway in Montesano, and the Westport-Grayland Chamber of Commerce will no longer accept payments on behalf of the Grays Harbor PUD effective November 30, 2013.

PUD General Manager Dave Ward said that “The District appreciates the relationship and the quality of work that each pay station has provided; however, regulatory requirements have prompted these necessary changes.”

Beginning Monday December 2, 2013 payments can be made at any Anchor Bank location in Grays Harbor. This change is being made due to increased regulations around personal information related to customer accounts.
